Public bug reported: When Firefox (default package) is open the HDD will begin thrashing and system become unresponsive. Hard boot only way to stop this as I have left it few hours and thrashing does not stop. Internet activity appears to stop.
No specific action required to reproduce this except leave Firefox open. Issue occurs daily. I have seen this issue reported in several versions but I have only seen this occur in 18.04.
